South Dakota authorities are cracking down on the sale of chemically modified hemp products like Delta-8 and Delta-10 THC, which have psychoactive effects similar to marijuana. A new state law—House Bill 1125—closes a loophole that previously allowed these substances to be sold.
The Pennington County State’s Attorney’s Office, along with law enforcement agencies, has sent warnings to local businesses, urging them to remove these products or face misdemeanor charges, which could lead to fines or jail time. Retailers selling items such as THC-infused gummies, vape cartridges, and beverages must comply with the law to avoid penalties. Officials say this effort is about keeping the community safe and ensuring businesses understand their responsibilities.
